Sloping levels eliminate thermal shock

In all Orbimat C automatic orbital welding power supplies, current sloping between welding levels is a standard feature: this eliminates the effect called thermal shocking

All Orbimat C automatic orbital welding power supplies current sloping between welding levels is a standard feature.

It is very important to slope the welding current between levels to eliminate the effect of thermal shocking.

This sloping effect also allows a completely consistent weld profile to be achieved, as the weld current is not dropping suddenly during the welding cycle.

In addition to current sloping, Orbimat C power supplies have extensive data logging built in with the welding current and travel speed being monitored 500 times per second and adjusted if necessary.
